Riding Lessons
Blue Hill Farm offers English-style riding lessons for riders of all ages and levels. We recommend scheduling at least one lesson per week to ensure steady progress and confidence in the saddle.
Our program focuses on developing a solid riding foundation, including proper position, effective communication with the horse, and overall horsemanship skills. Lessons are taught in a structured, progressive way to help riders build confidence, set personal goals, and celebrate their progress along the way.
Students will have the opportunity to learn everything from grooming and tacking up to mastering more advanced skills like jumping courses. For those interested in showing, we also offer coaching and support for riders who want to step into the competition ring.
All riders must wear pants, closed toe shoes, and a helmet regardless of age.

Looking for more time in the saddle? Leasing might be the perfect fit!
Our leasing program gives riders extra time with their favorite horse, helping build stronger partnerships and improve skills.
